Arcade
Classic Arcade Racing Game Now
Available on Xbox LIVE Arcade
SEGA of America, Inc. today
announced the return of Outrun, the classic arcade racing game. Developed by
acclaimed Sheffield studio Sumo Digital, OutRun Online Arcade has been updated
for the 21st century in stunning high-definition and will be available in
January 2009 via Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360.
Dodging opponents at full throttle,
players will be overcome with nostalgia as they rediscover the 15 glorious
OutRun2SP courses. From hilly streets to sunny beaches, the game offers mile
after mile of unrelenting acceleration, thrills and action. The draw to the open
road has never been so appealing as players race across the U.S. in one of 10
high-performance, fully licensed Ferrari cars to a heart pumping soundtrack.

LIVE, OutRun Online Arcade delivers online multiplayer racing for up to six
players as well as fast-paced single player action through Heart Attack, Time
Attack and OutRun modes. OutRun Online Arcade on Xbox LIVE will also feature
voice communication and Achievements.
